Rethugs Oppose Election Day As National Holiday



Human /  turtle hybrid and sinister enabler of corrupt plutocrats Sen. Mitch "Missy" McConnell (R- Obstruction) uses his inside voice in public about making election day a national holiday, which would drive up Dem turnout:
“The only common motivation running through the whole proposal seems to be this — Democrats searching for ways to give Washington politicians more control over what Americans say about them and how they get people elected...It’s an attempt to rewrite the rules...in order to benefit one over the other."
Said Missy, before realizing he was talking into a live mic.....Imagine, legitimate voters having a day off from work to exercise their Constitutional right to vote: can't have that!

The Rethuglican strategy for decades has been to suppress the Dem vote in order to ensure their electoral victories.  Making it easier -- and legal -- for voters to register and vote means disaster for Rethugs, who count on a highly motivated core of wingnuts to turn out and vote for them, while suppressing Dem voting. This is an issue that the Dems need to win.

As big a failure as Trump is, McConnell is the greatest threat to democracy. He's the brute blunt force of the Republican party and he's wreaked havoc on the government in countless ways. I'm not sure how we recover from his deliberate damage.

donnah -- Agree, he's a menace to democracy because of his cynical and amoral grip on the Senate. He plans to be around for a while -- longer than Trump -- so the damage he's doing will continue.
